Share your protocol for having a cold

[Rev. Rye]

Taking Chimp3's advice, when I went to the local grocery store and looked at all the types of Robitussin they had in stock. I photographed the labels of all the variations that didn't have both Guaifenisen and Dextromethorphan. Guess what I noticed:







That's right: as the official website indicated, the ones that didn't include both always included just Dextromethorphan (and maybe some other additional medicines), but not one included just Guaifenisen; it was only the Mucinex that did.

That said, I can see where Chimp would come to the conclusion; looking it up, there are some brands of tussin that use Guaifenisen exclusively and it's possible that at some point, the official Robitussin brand did; I found this vintage Robitussin ad, and while the quality is too crappy to be certain, I'd be lying if I said it doesn't possibly look like "Guaifenisen" is on that plain tussin bottle on the far left (it could be Dextromethorphan, too; the photo quality is really crap.)



Of course, that ad was from 1988, the year before I was born, so if they did do a Guanifenisen-only Robitussin back then, it doesn't change the fact that they don't do it now.

So, if you want to blame someone for fucking up the order, don't blame me. You can probably blame Pfizer for changing the damn formula.
